Hi everyone.

I've just finished restoring a TIME PC with an MSI MS-6316. The M/B needed a re-cap as it very often didn't want to turn on and stay on. I replaced all the 2200uf caps as most of the were looking a bit swollen, and that seemed to do the trick. The 60GB HD is still in the machine, but I've imaged it onto a 120GB SSD with an IDE adapter, and powered off the HD.

Now that the machine is stable I'd like to see if there are any worthwhile upgrades. I've thrown in 256MB of RAM, which it seems happy with, so now I'm looking at graphics cards. As this machine only has PCI slots my options are limited. Currently on board it has a NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 M64 (2MB). What would be a good upgrade for this machine?

Thanks.

Back in period I had one of these, we upgraded it with a Voodoo 3 PCI. Admittedly they are expensive these days.
